C++ named requirements: RangeAdaptorObject (od C++20)

Range adaptor objects are customization point objects that accept viewable_range as their first arguments and return a view. Some range adaptor objects are unary, i.e. they take one viewable_range as their only argument. Other range adaptor objects take a viewable_range and other trailing arguments.

If a range adaptor object takes only one argument, it is also a RangeAdaptorClosureObject.

If a range adaptor object takes more than one argument, it also supports partial application: let

  • a be such a range adaptor object, and
  • args... be arguments (generally suitable for trailing arguments),
  • expression a(args...) has following properties:
    • it is valid if and only if for every argument e in args... such that E is decltype((e)) , std::is_constructible_v<std::decay_t<E>, E> is true,
    • when the call is valid, its result object stores a subobject of type std::decay_t direct-non-list-initialized with std::forward<E>(e), for every argument e in args... (in other words, range adaptor objects bind arguments by value),
    • the result object is a RangeAdaptorClosureObject,
    • calling the RangeAdaptorClosureObject forwards the bound arguments (if any) to the associated range adaptor object. The bound arguments (if any) are considered to have the value category and cv-qualification of the RangeAdaptorClosureObject. In other words, a(args...)(r) is equivalent to std::bind_back(a, args...)(r) (but the former also supports the pipe syntax) (od C++23)

Like other customization point objects, let

  • a be an object of the cv-unqualified version of the type of any range adaptor objects,
  • args... be any group of arguments that satisfies the constraints of the operator() of the type of a,

calls to

  • a(args...),
  • std::as_const(a)(args...),
  • std::move(a)(args...), and
  • std::move(std::as_const(a))(args...)

are all equivalent.

The result object of each of these expressions is either a view object or a RangeAdaptorClosureObject.

Notes​

operator() is unsupported for volatile-qualified or const-volatile-qualified version of range adaptor object types. Arrays and functions are converted to pointers while binding.
